Better take KY with you for the body cavity search!! You might be hiding a map for all "Big Brother" knows!

Is your Z in that photo?
The difference in those pictures you all found "now" and the one he wanted to take yesterday was the time they were taken. If he took one yesterday and posted it, it would have been a "HEY! This is what the base looks like RIGHT NOW!" That's real time intel. The shots that have been found online are not time stamped.
If the golf ball coverings weren't in place and you had snapped pictures... your camera would now be official government property, you'd still be in their custody, and your Zee would have been impounded for the durration of your stay.
But hey, if you have enough money, you can get satellite photos of anything. Just be willing to pony up the cash to a non-governmental agency: a private corporation.
There are places out here in Nevada that have the whole "No Trespassing. Government property. Consent to search and seizure. Use of deadly force authroized, etc. etc." Some of these places are super old ordinance test ranges. Where do you think the US Tested checmical and nukes? It sure as hell wasn't near a city with green grass. I sure wouldn't want to wonder into a place like that. So when I see those warning signs, I go the other way and get as far away as I can. (VX is a persistant agent.) Those roads were taken off the map for a good reason.
For those that want to temp fate, by all means. I yeild the right of way.
So for those screaming Nazi tactics and what not, I use to work at a facility like the one pictured. Not everyone has benign motives for pictures.

Nice post... just so you all know, I just wanted to pics because those golf balls look cool 
I'm not a terrorist and I have no desire to get arrested... If they are so stressed about it maybe a sign or two would be an idea though... there are signs saying no entry, and guard dogs etc, but nothing saying you cant take photos from a public highway

I used the Nazi word in this thread and I do see your point.
My experience is that people all over the world are basically nice to each other. It is Governments that whip up hysteria. I have friends who are Pakistani as well as Indian friends. They are the best of friends in Canada but back in their respective countries they are enemies.... Go figure.
Freedom is very important in my opinion. If we do not protect it then we will surely loose it. I think that sp3ctre or anyone else has a right to take photographs at a public place and from a public place. They should not allow people to come to these "Top Secret" places if they are truly "Top Secret".
